Going on vacation in a RV! What hotspot should I get?

[DankDoodles]

I am traveling from Florida to New York to see the Niagara falls for 10 days in a RV.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a WiFi/Hotspot solution I can use during this trip? Like a recommended product from Amazon?

 

Edit: My service is Verizon and I am considering about getting Satellite internet during this trip

When I had Verizon I used the Jetpack with success. Why don't you use your phone as a hotspot?

Last time I used it was a year ago and figured it wouldn't do much. After doing some testing it seems to be perfectly fine. Thanks!

Yeah, for sure. I have been using my phone's hotspot for years with no issues. Enjoy Niagara!

Verizon has a number of jetpacks they sell on their website, here is the pricing for its data plans, After you reach the data cap of 30/15 gigabytes, you will be throttled is 600 kbps, which is very slow and is not really *unlimited*. https://www.verizon.com/plans/devices/hotspots/

 

AT&T also has plans on it's website, most notable the higher end 100gb plan may be useful if you will consume a lot of data. They sell hotspots at their stores. https://www.att.com/prepaid/mobile-hotspot-tablet/

 

If you are planning to use your phone, check the verizon website. It will throttle down your bandwith to 600kbps after you reach a cap. You would want to use the "Get More" unlimited plan for a month if you want an 30GB instead of 15GB of hotspot data, but you should be fine with your existing plan.

Do you absolutely need internet during a ten day epic rv trip? 

[TRS80]

30 hours one way, hardly epic. I'd say yeah. Internet is necessary.

I've done plenty of long trips like that, never had the need for the internet. A gameboy and friends is good enough.
